The reactivity of Bi0.5Sr0.5MnO3, Bi0.5Sr0.5Mn0.7Cu0.3O3, Bi0.5Sr0.5Mn0.7Ni0.3O3, La0.5Sr0.5Mn0.7Cu0.3O3 and La0.5Sr0.5Mn0.7Ni0.3O3 in ethanol steam reforming was studied. Different steam to carbon ratios have been tested (therefore referred as S/C = 1.5, and S/C = 6). The effect of an ad hoc reduction pre-treatment was also investigated. Ethanol conversion is highest in La0.5Sr0.5Mn0.7Ni0.3O3 and significant selectivity toward hydrogen and CO2 is observed. The reduction pre-treatment is more effective on nickel containing catalysts, enhancing both ethanol conversion and H2 and CO2 selectivity
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
